That being said it was ONLY an opinion- didn't ask for a personal attack here.. but I've heard and seen it elsewhere even in the mil.. many times when someone speeds " you look around for cops" or have a radar detector.. cause you fear consequence..
This is why the law works( or should ) because consequences lead to trained behavior.. Oh if I do "A" then that implies "B"..
Interestingly enough if you look up the synonymy of conscience.. it actually says " foregoing for fear of consequence"
But let's focus back on OP because I'd much rather not go into student debt.. ahah

I know plenty of people that would willfully turn themselves in, but on top of that those people would not commit those offences in the first place, including myself. (You would be surprised by the amount of people that actually do this.) In criminal theory, you would align best with rational choice theory, deterrence theory and the classical crime theory, all theories are great and make sense, but cannot be applied to every single situation.
